The Mellotron Group

This year, Dennis Haley, who was the lead keyboard tech for the first ten  
years, could not make it so Jim Rezek (Iluvatar) took his place. I was 
supposed  to be Jim's 2nd tech, but my wife is ill and I could not leave her for 
4 days.  So at the last minute, Alan Brunel took my place. I will be back on 
the crew  next year. There would not have been any Mellotrons this year, 
anyway, as none  of the bands requested one.
 
So how was the show?
 
I will at least get to see VdGG at the State Theater in Falls Church, VA on 
 the 24th.

i just got back from this year's nearfest.
literally -  like a half an hour ago.
i didn't see a mellotron anywhere [though i  heard a roland keyboard with 
mellotron sounds being employed by, i  think, two different bands], and it 
looks like there is a new crew of  keyboard techs, though i imagine bill fox 
was part of previous crews  since he's from the  allentown/bethlehem area...

so were you  there frank, and did you provide anything?

i only saw one  minimoog [but a couple moog voyagers and little phattys] on 
stage for  the last band, PFM from italy. it was an awesome set of bands, 
with a  couple less than awesome bands - one standout was a band from mexico  
that just blew everyone away:

Yeah, but he put on an  amazing show and he's a hell of a nice guy. I think 
he's showed up at  nearly every NEARfest I've been to (`03-08) and he 
generally just  hangs out with the fans between sets. I couldn't go this year 
even  though I was hired to work backstage because my wife is not well.  Still, 
I imagine he'll be there. 
 
I don't begrudge him the  software sequencer, nor do I begrudge him the 
sampled Tron. His entire  stage rig fit in the trunk of his car. What's not to  
like?
